The Occupy movement has hit something like 60 cities worldwide! The Tea Party movement only has supporters in the States, and only ever will.
We can argue which is the better (or more legal/moral) way to do it and yeah, there are differences with the movements there. I would argue many of the movements that have been important in history have had to exist outside the law to a certain extent. Whether it's in the Western world, or it's taking down a 3rd world dictator.
But I find the last part of your post humourous. The Tea Party movement isn't being accepted by anyone other than radical republicans. And it's not an issue anywhere else in the world. The Occupy movement is supported by people around the world, and even Time Magazine's latest issue has it billed as 'The Silent Majority' reporting that 57% percent of Americans sympathize with the protestors.

The Tea party has effective control over the US House of Representatives. They are the reason Obama lost his check book and has quit governing and started campaigning with over a year left in his presidency. The MSM are both blaming them for the grid lock in Washington and saying that they are irrelevant today. Both positions can't be right!
What power does the 99% movement have? Where will they be once winter hits?
